Comparing two Breitling watches, which is the fake? We find out, then we SMASH it!

In this episode of #TalkingTimepieces we take a close-up look and compare two #watches. Both claim to be a #Breitling #Navitimer #GMT, but only one is real. Although the fake #watch looks pretty good at a glance, the facade falls apart pretty quickly when you compare the two up close.

I mean it looks nice, it tells the time and it’s affordable…just because it’s not to the same build standard as the real deal, doesn’t make it garbage…you could argue that a breitling does not keep time as accurately as an atomic clock and it’s sole purpose is to tell the time so by that logic you could say the breitling is also garbage 🤷‍♂️ I’m not a watch guy, I do play guitar and have some very expensive models as well as affordable models. I have played expensive guitars that sound awful and cheap guitars that sound amazing. Base a product on what it is meant to do…not on how other products are made 👍

[@TalkingTimepieces]

There is no point, the watch is fake. Your argument is pertinent to small and microbrands. Where did your awareness of Breitling come from? The fake steals from that legacy. And the quality sucks, and is substandard even in the best fakes. Because they are fake. @@jezzepi

[@CharlesAdkins-le8we]

All true. He spent the entire video trying to discredit the replica watch and it does the exact same thing that the authentic watch does. A watch is designed to give you the time of day. No watch is ever going to give you the perfect time. watches are designed to give an approximate time.

[@TalkingTimepieces]

@@CharlesAdkins-le8we identity theft is identity theft. Why do people want the fake? Because the real is worth something. It earned a name through quality and image. The fake is worthlesss. Not to mention to compare movement quality is a sad joke. Do do you know what a free-sprung balance is? A coaxial escapement? Tolerances? Antimagnetism? Fakes are crap. Fakes are a lie, and the first lie you make is to yourself.

No watch is fake. So you're saying that the time is fake as well. A watch is designed to give the time. If the watch is giving the correct time it's not fake. all watches are made from the same material. Glass is glass, metal is metal, leather is leather. Just because the Breitling or Rolex company did not make them does not mean their fake. Some people are fools to spend money on a watch that is not worth anything. "A WATCH IS DESIGNED TO GIVE YOU THE TIME." Nothing more.

[@marvinsallen1594]

About two and a half years ago I bought, by email, a Breitling replica Navitimer. I have compared it with pictures of genuine Navitimers. I haven't been able to see any difference. I understand you are probably paid by Breitling to say the things you say. however, the faults you point out don't really exist. None of that actually means a thing, This is what is actually meaningful, I have had this watch for two and a half years wearing it every day and except for Daylight Savings changes I have yet to adjust the time. I am aware that this is an anomaly. I wouldn't think less of an actual Breitling if some occasional adjustment was required. I realize that the watch must in time require a cleaning or something like that. The cost to get that done may very well exceed the actual cost of the watch. I am consoling myself in advance realizing that if I tried to replace it, even with an actual Breitling I would not get anything better or not as good. Sum, I am delighted with my fake.

Except that no matter how good it is, it is still a fake, or are only "good" fakes permissible? Tied to organized crime, they are also counterfeit products that not only are a rot in the industry, their profits fund criminality.
